Ludwik Fleck
(1896-1961) - Fleck is widely recognized as a pioneer of the
constructivist-relativist trend in philosophy of science. He introduced the
notion of the relativity of diseases. The definition of a disease is arbitrary
and depends solely on the thought-style within which it is studied. In 1935/36
Fleck published his major philosophical monograph, "Genesis and Development of
a Scientific Fact", written in German and translated into English, forty years
later. Fleck served as a physician in the Lwow ghetto where he developed a
typhus immunization. He survived Auschwitz and Buchenwald and emigrated to
Israel 1956.
Ludwik
Fleck
(also written as Ludwig) was a Polish medical doctor and biologist who developed
in the 1930s the concept of Denkkollektiv (or thought collectives). This
concept is important in philosophy of science and sociology of science in that it
helps explain how scientific ideas change over time, similar to
Thomas Kuhn's later notion of paradigm shift or Foucault's episteme(wikipedia)
